Are you talking about freddie's tv series model or what?
Train it, plane it, you name it!
Are you talking about his model that was used in Seasons 10 through 12? If so, I don’t think anyone knows what’s happened to it. There’s nothing about it’s whereabouts on the Wiki and I don’t think any of the major prop collectors own it.

Dang! Really Want To Know Where That Piece Of Fine Art Is.

Context, because no one's ever discussed any of this on BPT (to my knowledge): after Thomas & Friends went CGI in 2009, some of the models and props that appeared in the filmed seasons began to turn up on auction sites for TV and film props. Others were either sent to a (poorly maintained) exhibit in Drayton Manor, the Hara Model Railway Museum in Japan, or Mattel has them in storage (where I assume Freddie might be). A few privileged people in the fanbase were able to acquire and preserve the ones on the auction sites, notably Twitter users ThomasTankMerch, TomsProps and Tomjedski (the aforementioned "major prop collectors") and some members of the Sodor Island Fansite.

Thanks LaG, I really didn't understand what was being talked about in this Thread until your context. Smile

Having an actual original used in the film making of the original would be awesome and any of the scenery pieces would be kewl too.

I believe there are fandom events where the owners of the props display them to the public. Also to add to LaG's list, SiF might have it as they too own lots of props.
